Seems we just haven't learnt our lesson, we're going to end up with Marcos Alonso and Nedum Onouha

Seems we just haven't learnt our lesson, we're going to end up with Marcos Alonso and Nedum Onouha

I wonder when it was that we forgot how to act in the transfer window and what was the reason?

Not Onouha...he's 29 already and only playing in the Championship...better to use one of our U23 than him...

I know it seems the cool and 'in' thing to say to some but I really think Emenalo is a big problem for us. Ever since he had that supposed feud with Jose back when he left the first time it seems Emenalo has gone from strength to strength within the internal structure of the club. I increasingly see him pop in on media stuff for Chelsea T.V etc and to me he doesn't always come across in a favourable light. A lot of it might just be a gut instinct but I just don't like/trust the man with our transfer dealings. 

Dont get that vibe at all, seems like hes frustrated with what he called unreasonable fees for average players.

 

I doubt the manager cares about how crazy the transfer fees are. That's not his money and he isn't involved in negotiations. What Conte does care is gettng the players he identified as an upgrade to the team he'd inherited. And he isn't getting them.

 

Of course he isn't going to voice his displeasure at our transfer dealings or lack thereof publicly in the room full of journos, but it's fair to assume that he's disappointed and who wouldn't be in his place.

The difference, of course, will be whether Conte has the ability not to take it out on his squad.

If there's one weakness to Jose Mourinho it's that historically he's thrown the toys out of the pram when things don't go exactly to plan.

Time sure does fly. Thought he was still in his mid 20's. 

I agree, he's only three months older than Corluka which seems absolutely bizarre to me.

What is he referring to then if not the transfer fees?  What is so crazy about the market if not the fees?

After next Wednesday, we will know with a degree of certainty where the club finishes. I am getting ready to temper my expectations.....

he's referring that he didn't sign for this sh*t

My biggest worry about the whole transfer business is Conte. He walked out of Juventus when he and the board didn't see eye to eye over transfers.

 

I hate to see the same happen here!

I blame you! You let Mourinho down last season and it appears you are about to do the same again.

He is referring to the crazy transfer fees because that's what he's told by the board when he asks about the lack of signings.

 

Even if he agrees that the fees are unreasonable, that knowledge doesn't change anything for him, he's still expected to deliver results on the pitch.

Yeah. Conte got his powers from Dumbledore himself so he should be fine.

Hey, that's my money and I can do whatever I want. I'll have your season ticket canceled too, if I feel like, so watch where you're going with this.

It will happen if the board doesn't sign any defenders and the club is outside of the top four by mid-season.

In that case we need the sorting hat to sort sh*t pretty f**king snappy!

I had dream this morning Conte was attacked and bitten badly by a rabbit dog.

This must mean something!

It means you think too much about Conte and rabbits and dogs.

Rabbit/Dog fearsome creature, 

Does anybody have found tactical analysis from today's match against Burnley? I really really need that, checked few sites who offer tactical analysis but there is nothing about that match (yet). So if anyone find something just please send, quote me here or send pm. Thanks!

Here you go, mate...

Conte has reiterated that Chelsea are still willing to spend the big money but that the issue is rival clubs' reluctancy to do business.

"We didn't refuse to spend the money for the right targets," Conte insisted. "The situation is that the target is not available to buy and to spend the money on.

"Then I also told [them] that I'd prefer to spend a lot of money on the right great player, not on a medium player."
